The DA said Eskom's failure is due to the governing party not appointing qualified people for certain jobs.
JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance said Eskom's energy crisis is a result of the African National Congress' cadre deployment policy.
The utility has also implemented Stage 6 load shedding, which is at least six hours of no electricity each day. "Through its corrupt system of cadre deployment, the ANC centralised all power in Luthuli house. That is why the DA is taking our fight against load shedding directly to the source of this crisis - the ANC".
It started when the DA proposed a new law in parliament that would ensure jobs are distributed on merit and not just to members or allies of the governing party.
